Setting Memory

Mirror motor position sensors are used to "remember" the mirror positions. These sensors are potentiometers contained in the mirror's drive unit. As the mirror motors turn, the potentiometer resistance is varied. The mirror position is determined by the sensor voltage level for the existing mirror position seen by the associated door module. If one of the memory buttons is pushed and held for at least three seconds, the sensor voltage level is stored to "remember" the mirror positions for that switch (DRIVER 1/2).
